Ok, here's mine. Hope this works for you. I had to put the directions for my name above the background layer cause it wouldn't fit beside BACKGROUND. Hope you can read it. Looks like "a loyal fan of" might need to have bigger letters. I was trying to save room for the bounce on the name.You can fix as you see fit.

One request: When you do the name, bounce on the O2BN individually then put up Gd together and then Hope together. Thanks! That way it will read better as "Oh, to be in Good Hope"

My blinkie challenge

this really made the brain cells work overtime! Hope I have done this right for you. Thank you for a fun exercise. Oh gosh I didn't put the background on all the frames and I meant to, can you fix it or will I do it again? Sorry to be a pest. hugs

Bless you Dillie!! so glad you are participating!!! I've got two dental appointments for my boys tomorrow at noon..explanding 4 hours..so I'll start on this as soon as I get home tomorrow afternoon!! Very pretty!! GREAT job explaining!!

Need this in .smt form with separate layers if you can manage it..Otherwise I'll have to adlib the fonts and such..Need layers not flattened images when possible please!! THanks!!

HUGS folks!!

Good Morning--Here it is. Let me know if you have any questions. I am just having problems saving as SM2T. The font I use is ChopinScript blue with white outline. If you need to adlib that is great. Thank you for all you do. Liz

If you EXPORTED..you can find your template by going to My documents:Scrapbookmax:Templates: and find your template..not screenshot..LOL..and upload that..Then I can breakdown your desired blinkie into manageable pieces..

I have Chopin script..so that is not a problem..we will get this to work. Way to go GIRL!!

LOTS of good questions have come up!!!

TIP when making your blinkies!!

If you like a lot of scene changes where BACKGROUND would change..then use the breakdown sheet for sure.

If you want a STAGE like setting..see carena;s blinkies..Michelles blinkies..We need a background image and a TOP layer for the STAGE..Then you fill in the layers with the additions you want to fade in out..etc in between those layers..if You have an additional fixed item..Put on top layer or NExt to top layer and tell me fixed item..

This is a BIG challenge..for sure!! but you folks are very FAST learners and you are figuring it out amazingly fast!! If I don't do it the way you hoped..Say so..that will help us translate better!!

If your workspace is too small..Make a 9in by 3 inch custom template size and work on that..You can then list the transitions or movement with each piece to make it easier on yourself..I can see by looking at it what the stage is..If you want the lady to wink..or move her hand..I can work that up for you by doing cut and paste and drawings into your design..But she would then be a stationary piece..part of your stage!! You can tell me how to introduce her..

Don't make this too hard on yourselves!!! I love shat you all are coming up with!! WOW!! You are tickling my funny bone!! Final pieces for each scene is all I need..For example..notice on my version one Blinkie of SBM..The scrapbookMax wording at top is scattered letters coming together..All you would need to give me is FINAL lineup..I would then duplicate and erase the unneeded letters for each scene and wiggle them in place for you..You all are doing that!! GREAT..keep it up!! OB..mentioned bouncing..YEAH!! I can do that..She gave me final image for that..So pat yourselves on the back..WOW guys..You are going to have some fun blinkies here!!

Try not to make these tooo complicated..the message gets lost with too many transitions..

And if you have samples of other blinkies out there that you would like us to try to duplicate the sequencing..Bring it in..

If you all don't have a photobucket type of account to upload your blinkies too..you might want to register for a free space..Little gifs images of smilies dancing etc..are the kind of things you can grab from others and use yourself in emails and on our posts and threads..I've got a separate account for that..blinkies too of course!!

Gotta get to work..busy day planned!..4 blinkies on tap already!! heehhehe..

Hi, Donna. Don't know if you'll see this in time and I can't edit my first post but on the screen that just has the Max-imum and the flower maybe the flower could roll across the screen into place or something to jazz up that screen each time it appears. What do you think?

Melanie

In case I go missing call Moonlightpearl, Granny, twpclerk or Smile! Then have them call Crops because we're probably together at the Yoville Races!

Hey..you all don't have to use all the pieces I gave..but love to see the SBM lady used..hey..how about raining brads, grommets, corners, frames??? LOL..something besides words..show our scrapping..I'll do some word art with your designs!!
